Ingredients and Substitutions:
Here are your Ingredients for your ceviche shopping list:
- ½ Cup of Cooked Shrimp is the serving size in the recipe (Fresh is best but, I used a bag of Trader Joe's Frozen Shrimp 1lb bag here, I used the entire bag which I Defrosted and then sautéed in Garlic and Olive Oil)
- One large Un-cooked Red Onion - chopped
- 2 Tomatoes - The first tomato sliced and diced - If you have the Mini Ninja Chopper or any food processor makes quick work here.
- The second tomato is special, as you will take a handful a shrimp (about 6) and blend them together in your chopper/processor so you have a minced puree of shrimp and tomato this will elevate the flavors of your Ceviche to the power of Ten.
- 1 Large Cucumber; first ½ Cucumber diced with the skin on and the other ½ Cucumber peeled seeded and diced so refreshing.
- 1 Fresh Squeezed Lime; Fresh Lime Juice just elevates and is always Best
- A Pinch of Salt
- A Pinch of Pepper
- 2 Teaspoons of Fresh Chopped Cilantro (optional)
- For a little Caribbean flare you can add a ¼ cup of diced mango and make it a zero point mango shrimp ceviche. Add a ¼ cup of chopped avocado and turn this into a delicious mango avocado salsa..the combinations are endless!

Tools Needed:
1 - For my chopping I used my Mini Ninja . This is a small electric chopper that is able to mince and chop in seconds. No need to mess with knives. This is one of my favorite kitchen gadgets it is always sitting out on my counter..easy to use and easy to clean.
2 - For my Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice I used a chef'n Citrus Juicer. Another handy gadget for fresh squeezed juice.
3 - For the Sauteeing of the Shrimp I used my Copper Chef Pan. This is another item I use all the time. No stick and looks good.
Recipe FAQ's:
1 ounce of raw or cooked shrimp is zero points on Weight Watchers.
Shrimp ceviche is a keto friendly meal. Just eat it in moderation as one of the main ingredients is lime juice which contains a significant amount of carbs.
½ cup of shrimp ceviche contains approximately 152 calories. A perfect low carb meal or appetizer.
Ceviche is best served chilled or at room temperature. Note that while heat is an effective method for killing the bacteria that cause food poisoning, marinating it in citrus juice is not. So it's important to use the freshest seafood you can, from a source you trust.
Ceviche is best served immediately and must be consumed upon serving. But if you do find yourself with leftover ceviche, just drain off the marinade, and put it in the airtight container in the refrigerator for best results.
